Duke Nukem 3D


Duke Nukem 3D is a First Person Shooter game developed by 3D Realms in 1996.

Port: Eduke32

Basic Installation

The shareware port can be installed under RetroPie setup. Go to Manage packages > Manage optional packages and select eduke32. You can install from binary or from source.

ROMs

Shareware versions of duke3d.grp and duke.rts are provided via symlinks in

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d
The shareware files are physically located in a different directory, but if you just replace the links in the folder above with your full version game data, it should work.

Installing Duke Nukem 3D Official Addons

EDuke32 port installation can automatically setup launching entries for the official addons and the NAM mod. To use this method, copy each addon files to ports/duke32/addons/<addon_name>.

Addon Mod .grp file Location
Duke It Out in DC dukedc.grp /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d/addons/dc
Nuclear Winter nw.grp /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d/addons/nw
Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach vacation.grp /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d/addons/vacation
NAM nam.grp* /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d/addons/nam
  • NAM requires copying the GAME.CON file and renaming it to NAM.CON, in addition to the main .grp file.

After copying the files, install the eduke32 package and addons launching entries will be added to the Ports system. As with all new games, EmulationStation must be restarted after the installation/re-installation for the new addon entries be picked up and displayed.
